I have upgraded my laptop computer, put a bigger hard drive in and more memory.I formatted the hard drive and put Windows Xp home edition on it.I went to the PB website for all the drivers, but can't find the right driver for the sound.Any help would be appreciated.
regards,
David Robinson

Dear Tom 19511,
My laptop is a Packard Bell IGo 4000 series, I tried to retrieve my serial No. but its worn off.I bought the laptop 5 years ago in 2002.
Other than a Western Digital Hdd, extra RAM and a standard DVD-wr( it originally came with a DVD/cd-wr combo), the components are the factory fitted kit.I tried the AC97 drivers from the website, and I tried the others that were listed, neither give me my windows start up tune.
Regards,

Same problem as Robbo. I have a iGO 4000. Fitted a new hard disk, so cant use the stupid restore CD. Downloaded both sound drivers from the website. Neither works. If I go into the control panel system/devices I can see an audio driver conflict. Windows cannot identify the chipset and will not accept either of the drivers from the website. In the BIOS of the computer it mentions AC97, but wont accept the AC97 driver.

Start, control panel, switch to classic view ( if you haven't already done so), system, hardware, device manager and see if there are any yellow circles to suggest missing drivers. Also go to sound and audio devices in control panel to see if anything is installed.
